Before you start

GSA Search Engine Ranker, installed and licensed.
A DomDetailer API key. Buy credits, or find your key on your account page.

01 Open Options, then Advanced

Click Options to open the options panel, then choose Advanced from the list on the left.

Options, then Advanced in the left-hand list.

02 Enable the metric lookup

Tick Get PR for URLs, then click the arrow beside it to open the list of available data sources.

GSA SER predates the retirement of PageRank, so its terminology still refers to PR. In practice that setting is now the general "fetch a quality metric" switch.

03 Choose which metric to filter on

Pick the DomDetailer figure that will stand in for PageRank when SER decides whether a target is worth using.

If you are unsure, DD_TrustFlow/10 is a sensible default: Trust Flow is harder to inflate than raw link counts, and dividing by ten maps it onto the 0-10 range SER expects. The field reference covers the alternatives.

04 Paste your API key

Choosing a DomDetailer data point prompts for your API key. Paste it in and click OK.

Tip. SER can check a great many URLs in a campaign. Start with a small run and watch your balance before pointing it at a large target list.

Not working?

Check the key has no stray spaces, confirm you have credits left on your account page, and check the service status. If it is none of those, tell us what you tried and we will look.
